Overview of The Logo Creator

About a year ago, I was scouring the Internet looking for a logo creation tool and came across Laughingbird Software’s The Logo Creator.The software looked like it was easy to use and capable of doing what I wanted so I decided to give it a try.After a year of use, I can definitely say this is one of the best software purchases I have ever made.

Although the name of the application suggests that it’s merely a tool used for creating logos, it’s really capable of doing a great deal more.I’ve used it to splice photographs, create web banners, and test color schemes for web page layouts.The Logo Creator also comes packaged with a large variety of embedded fonts that add a lot of appeal to any graphical design.

Features

Rating

There are several editions of The Logo Creator, each one focusing on a different theme.All editions run on the same engine, however, and the only way they truly differ is by the graphics and predesigned logos that come packaged with the application.

All of the custom logos that come bundled with the software are fully modifiable.You can either use them as is, merely substituting your own text for the text placeholders, or you can completely change the design using only the original layout as a guide.

If you want to start a design from scratch, that option’s available, too.Along with each edition’s selection of predesigned logos is a collection of images that can be included in any custom design.If you don’t like any of these images, you can easily import your own to use instead.

Price

Rating

Each individual edition of The Logo Creator is currently running at $29.95, and it’s well worth the price.While the software may seem like a simple little tool, that simplicity is restricted to the user interface and not the overall capabilities.

In terms of image editing, The Logo Creator is not going to replace Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop, but it is a nice complement to those applications.It’s definitely something to consider adding to your desktop publishing arsenal.
